6/21/08 Chesterland, Ohio: Enter The Fray 3 - HOST IS AWOL

[RDK]

Lag is... lag. You just gotta deal with it. I can't say I've ever lost or won because of lag though. It just makes it annoying for everyone. And it's sad that I've not had a problem with anyone lying about a match except the top-ranked player. I still want my win, but the admins apparently don't want to give the top-ranked player a loss, even when shown picture proof that I won. Conspiracy!

A LAN adapter might not help, unfortunately. Wireless can provide 15-25 Mbps of throughput, and your Internet connection is either 1.5Mbps (DSL) or 6-8Mbps (Cable). Wired might give 100Mbps, but it's pointless when your Internet connection is what's slow. The only reason a wireless adapter can be bad is if you have interference in the area, which is certainly possible. Just don't count on it improving your experience by a lot.

If you're using DSL, upgrade to Cable. That can make the biggest difference.

It's not ME that's lagging, it's the occasional other party. I have cable internet, and rarely have problems with lag. When I do, it's the other person.

You've had problems with Jumpan fudging scores too?

 

[4% APR]

I'll pry be there. I love your neutral list. I'll do some melee money matches if anyone cares enough anymore, I don't trust myself in brawl enough

 

[slartibartfast42]

Melee friendlies are the main reason I want to come >.>

Anyway, No MM's 4%, I already know you will beat me, but I'd like to get in as many friendlies with you as possible. (If you don't remember me I'm the guy who counterpicked peach on Pokefloats at ESCAPE)

 

[Kel]

I think from now on that I'm gonna do MMs where we play Melee first, and then Brawl. For the same amount of monies. IE 5$ per match. The idea is that if you're better at either game, you should win one and break even; and if you're good at both, then you deserve the money.

Plus, I'd love to spike all of the Brawl haters in Melee a bunch. ( I SPIKE OUT OF EVERYTHING)

 

[slartibartfast42]

*see's Kel's Avatar*

Lol, I would take you up kel, especially if you main pichu in melee (even if I lost at melee, I could make it up with DeDeDe shenanigans), but I have a policy of not taking money matches, because people who want to play for money are generally better than me...

o.O *Looks at above message*

I wouldn't make too much prejudgement on this one...especially about his main

I laughed once when I saw he used Pichu....once

 

[slartibartfast42]

Sorry, I have this thing where if I see a character in your avatar, I assume it's your main. Which is definitely not always the case *looks at M2K's avatar*, lol.

 

[Overswarm]

I main Squall.

 

[-Wolfy-]

pfft. Squall's broken.

And I'll star looknig for some brawl mm's, and maybe if i get an STD gonig this week and get some practices in, I might take you up on your melee->brawl mm, kel. definitely going to need to put some time in on melee this weekend though.

 

[Xlaurousislx]

Sorry, I have this thing where if I see a character in your avatar, I assume it's your main. Which is definitely not always the case *looks at M2K's avatar*, lol.

Oh...I think he does main Pichu, maybe not...I just know when he does use Pichu, it was nasty

I main Luigi in distress

 

[KishSquared]

You've had problems with Jumpan fudging scores too?

Yup, Jumpman's a cheater. Quit when he was down by 2 stock in what would have been a 2-0 win for me, claimed lag was too bad and the match should be canceled. Admins sided with him...

 

[slartibartfast42]

So he mains Pichu, but is really good?

Oh yeah, and since KishSquared obviously mains L, I think it's safe to assume he's going to win the tournament.

Death Note Spoiler

Spoiler

Unless someone mains Light

 

[4% APR]

Kel mains donkey kong.

 

[-Wolfy-]

What if I main Near and we go doubles?
Can you say, unstoppable?

10 second later edit: Donkey Kong is too legit in Brawl.

 

[Master WGS]

*Sigh*

Even with another postponement, I still can't make this awesome tourney.... I'm getting back THAT NIGHT from FL. So, literally, it's as close as it could be to being possible for me to attend. >_>

Hopefully Ohio clears up its act soon so I can start playing more.

 

[slartibartfast42]

What if I main Near and we go doubles?
Can you say, unstoppable?

I would pick Light, and then my partner would be someone more competent than Mikami, so I'd win.

 

[-Wolfy-]

Well, I mean if you stick with the arc of the story, your next best bet would be Misa, and you'd still be boned.

Oh, and I don't believe in spoilers for anything over a year old.

 

[ToastMAN]

I would pick Ryuk...since he is the Snake of Death note

Yeah...I wasnt impressed with Jumpman when i played him.....he hardly beat me (**** cipher grab!!!!).

Hes only a top ranked player because he plays a ton of matches...and disputes his losses (like everyone else INCLUDING YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

 

[slartibartfast42]

Well, he had a TON of supporters. He could have picked one. Mikami was so dumb. He knew he was being followed, and that the notebook had been left in a location without his supervision. He could have checked to make sure he would have finished near & friends by using a page he had already used to kill someone. Light died because of Mikami's stupid mistake, He had Near pretty much doomed if it weren't for that fluke. I bet you can tell which side of philosophy I'm on...

Anyway, back on topic: I'm going to have to go to Boy Scout camp the day after this, so I'd appriciate it if I could get back in time to get at least 6 hours of sleep (around 2AM). What time do you guys expect this to be over?

 

[4% APR]

I think we all know Ray Penbar was the only character worth mentioning.

On topic- I would think it should be over before 2 AM, but if you have to leave during finals it wouldn't really be that detrimental unless you were in them

 

[RDK]

Yup, Jumpman's a cheater. Quit when he was down by 2 stock in what would have been a 2-0 win for me, claimed lag was too bad and the match should be canceled. Admins sided with him...

I just realized you'e Squared the Bowser player on Gamebattles. *FACEPALM*. Those were some pretty intense matches.

And back on topic, Wolfy, I need to team with someone so we can do some doubles MM's against you and Aaryk. Is Hafway coming?

 

[KishSquared]

Haha, yeah, I'm that Bowser player. Silly Bowser.

Hes only a top ranked player because he plays a ton of matches...and disputes his losses (like everyone else INCLUDING YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Including who, me? I've never disputed a loss for any reason.

Also, my avatar is Near, not L...

 

[RDK]

Including who, me? I've never disputed a loss for any reason.

He's just p!ssed because he plays Snake and still loses a lot.

 

[-Wolfy-]

oh Hafway will be here. If I get him over here for some practice today we can set up some wifi doubles

 

[RDK]

Definetely. You have my cell #, just hit me up, or PM me, or whatever. I'll be checking SWF throughout the course of the day to help with the GA tourney scores anyway.

 

[slartibartfast42]

Man, all those random super-detectives look alike. I should have realized, L has black hair and black circles under his eyes.

Anyway, I hope no one I'm riding with gets to the finals now, lol.

 

[G J Cod]

There's a good chance you can sign up another tag-team.

Hey this is G J Cod, and I'm new to the smashboards. The_Altrox said you were having a tourney and the best part: you're relatively close by (but it's still a drive). My buddy, Starfoxintensity, is also new to the boards, but we're both BRAWL freaks, so there's a good chance we'll make it. The 2 of us would be on a team. I'll let you know if anything changes.

 

[Ballistaboy]

itd be fun to come, but i wouldnt be able to come.. parents wouldnt be to keen of having me go to someones house to play video games an hour away..

i may still ask..

 

[Xlaurousislx]

I MAY or may not be there...I know that natureslayer wants me to go with him, but I'm not sure if my car can make it that far...so it all comes down to me fixing my car and then deciding which one I'd rather do: Smash tournament, or save $$$ for Tom Petty concert on my bday...

Who knows, maybe I can do both?

Feedback, anyone?

Go to the tourney and maybe use some of your bday $ from relatives, friends, etc., for the concert?

Haha...easier said than done...

Also, G J Cod, "Birthday money?" what the heck is that?!

Good news about it, is that I get paid weekly, so I *might* pull off both...besides, what would Marion think if their tourney got canceled?

Tell them gaming is your anti-drug. Then if they say no, buy crack.

Tell me, OS: did that plan ever work out for you? ^.^

I'm here, aren't I?

 

[Xlaurousislx]

I suppose, but I can't see thru the comp to check if you're playing games or doing crack...
